I have paid for my education through working and through student loans and am finally beginning to benefit. I do not want my income taxed any more than it already is, especially to pay for someone else's laziness. I do not mind paying my part, but shouldn't everyone that can? If we had a flat tax, someone making a lot of money would still be paying a lot more on taxes. I am voting for the candidate who will not raise taxes to 'distribute the wealth.' If one is willing to work hard, he should reap the benefits.

Regarding the teenagers riding the four-wheelers and golf carts on Hargrove Road East: Thanks to the police for stopping them. It is dangerous and these are not approved to ride on the streets.
